Free SHS: Students won't eat Tom Brown as three square meal under Mahama – Prof. Richard Asiedu

Richard Kofi Asiedu, Central Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has promised that the party will overhaul and improve the Free Senior High School (Free SHS) program if the party wins the next general elections.

Asiedu chastised the current state of the Free SHS policy, claiming that food quality and supply have been grossly inadequate under the Akufo-Addo government.

“John Mahama is going to polish the Free SHS policy and make it more attractive,” Asiedu stated.

“The food supply in the Free SHS system is so poor that it gets sad.

Asiedu claimed that school administrations have had to rely on funds from Parent Teacher Associations to supplement food provisions.

The NDC chair’s comments have reignited the debate around the flagship Free SHS program ahead of election season.

The NDC has positioned an improved Free SHS as a major campaign pledge if they unseat the NPP in the upcoming polls.
